36 Vista Sierra Bonita, Santa Fe, NM 87540

Property Description

Discover 51.8 breathtaking acres in the heart of Lamy, overlooking the Galisteo Basin—an area rich in history, culture, and natural beauty. Water and electricity are already at the property, with underground utilities in place and ready to be extended to your chosen building site, offering a rare combination of infrastructure and pristine land. Once owned by Bishop Lamy, this remarkable parcel is deeply tied to the history of Santa Fe itself. Legend holds that stone for the plaza cathedral was quarried here and transported by donkey and cart across the region. The land also carries a fascinating industrial legacy, with a decommissioned coke mine on the property that adds authentic New Mexico character. Multiple flat, buildable sites require minimal preparation, making this an ideal setting for a primary residence, guest casita, or equestrian retreat. A nearby fire hydrant provides added convenience and peace of mind. Surrounded by 360-degree panoramic mountain views and sweeping vistas of the historic Galisteo Basin—widely recognized as one of the nation’s most significant archaeological regions and home to the famed San Cristobal Pueblo ruins—the property is dotted with piñon and cedar, dramatic rock formations, and beautifully carved arroyos. Enjoy unmatched privacy, endless stargazing, and over 300 days of sunshine beneath New Mexico’s legendary skies.
